A birthday greeting to the power of painting at the Diesel Power Station Cottbus
On the occasion of Hans Scheuerecker's 75th birthday, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art at the Diesel Power Station Cottbus honors one of the most influential artistic voices in the city with a focused exhibition of works from its own collection and private collections. The show brings together paintings, graphics, posters, and sculptures into a dense artistic experience that makes the development of this oeuvre visible over almost five decades.

A work between expressiveness and reduction
Hans Scheuerecker is considered an important representative of neo-expressionist imagery in the art of the GDR and the post-reunification period. His works navigate between figurative condensation, gestural lines, and an increasing focus on clear primary colors. The shift from expressive gestures to more schematized, flat color formulations gives his art a special tension.

The human figure as a common thread
At the center of Scheuerecker's work is repeatedly the human figure in its existential nuances. The exhibition makes visible how much autobiographical experience, art-historical references from the early 20th century, and a distinctive handwriting intertwine in his visual worlds. For art lovers, this creates an intensive engagement with the works with great proximity to the drawing and painting gesture. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/programm/alles-gute-lieber-hans/))
The Diesel Power Station as a resonance space
The exhibition building itself enhances the impact of this presentation: The BLMK at the Cottbus site is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm and its exhibition spaces are accessible by elevators. This provides the museum with an accessible yet atmospherically rich environment for modern art and cultural education. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/oeffnungszeiten-eintrittspreise/))
Art mediation and visitor experience
The BLMK is known for its art mediation and offers guided tours as well as museum educational programs. A public tour is also scheduled for the exhibition; the regular admission ticket for an exhibition is 4 euros. This makes the visit a well-planned cultural appointment for individual visitors, groups, and art-interested families. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/oeffnungszeiten-eintrittspreise/))
Conclusion
All the best, dear Hans is more than a birthday greeting: The exhibition opens a precise view of the work of an artist who has influenced Cottbus over decades. Those interested in painting, graphics and expressive art in Brandenburg will experience an exhibition here with historical depth, sensory presence, and high art-critical relevance. A visit to the Diesel Power Station is definitely worth it. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/programm/alles-gute-lieber-hans/))
